Western Cape Police have confirmed that two people have been arrested in connection with the violent protest march which took place at Cape Town CBD on Wednesday.
Many stalls were looted
and windows of shops destroyed while people were protesting for better service delivery in their
communities.
Police Spokesperson Andre Traut said
two men were arrested, one was arrested for possession of stolen property and
the one for damage to property.
He also said they will appear in
court once they have been charged.
Meanwhile the South African
Communist Party has joined many organizations in condemning the violent
protest.
SACP District Secretary Benson
Ngqentsu has called for the Western Cape
Ngqentsu said Premier Zille should
take full responsibility for everything that happened on Wednesday, but the
SACP strongly condemns the looting of shops and stalls.
He added that there is a strong
belief that the march was disturbed by people who came with their thuggish
intentions.
